Injectable treatments, like Botox, offer more benefits than are realized (when used in a safe manner)…

Both BOTOX® and Dysport® are derived from a specific form of bacteria. Most people do not realize that these injections were originally utilized as a remedy for neck and facial spasms.  Then of course BOTOX® and  Dysport® treatments began to be used more effectively for cosmetic purposes–they are an extremely efficient approach to softening or removing the natural wrinkles between the eyes (frown lines), on the forehead, at the sides of the eyes (“crow’s feet”), at the base of the nose, around the lips, etc.

Injected through a very small needle into the muscles of the face to stop nerve impulses from reaching the muscles causes these muscles to relax, these treatments which makes wrinkles gradually disappear. The results last three to six months and, at times, longer.

I have extensive experience using BOTOX® Cosmetic not only for cosmetic reasons, but to treat headaches (including migraines) and excessive sweating of the armpits and palms.

Injectable treatments are a wonderful tool in treating cosmetic patients but, like any tool, they can be misused. Inadequately trained practitioners from varied backgrounds are often responsible for the substandard results that all of us have seen, many times on well-known celebrities who appear virtually expressionless from Botox, sporting “over plumped” lips and “mask-like” faces from over zealous use of fillers. These kinds of results are entirely avoidable.

I practice meticulous technique with careful control of the location and depth of the injections, based on an intimate knowledge of the anatomy gained in no small measure from my experience in endoscopic facial rejuvenation.
